Symphony No.1 in D Major "Titan" IV.Triumph (C)

[dernettep]

this Symphony made me understand Goethe's Faust at high school... i dont' know how but it did.....

[pbrower2a1]

The greatest first symphony that anyone ever composed -- and that includes those of Beethoven, Brahms, and Sibelius. No work is more complete except the glorious fifth and ninth symphonies of Beethoven -- and some later works of Mahler.

If Mahler had died immediately after composing this work, he would have to be considered a great master for this work alone.

@pbrower2a1 That's true.

[dimsimlord]

Geez, compare that ending with the shit you hear on the radio today.

Popular music should be extremely embarrassed.

[offyougonow1007]

@dimsimlord How intelligent and observant you are! ALL music, aside from Mahler's is "coarse". LOL! Keep listening!

ALSO, thank you,ApsisApocynthion for the vast contribution you made to culture by posting such a wealth of Mahler. BLESS YOU! ~Cate

O drama melódico entoa e desenha na alma as pequenas descobertas ,da chegada da luz que revela as belezas escondidas por cada passo do longo e árduo caminho, nesta terra primitiva,mas cheia de horizontes.

Is this from their Mahler cycle? If so, thank you VERY much. This is possibly Mahler's greatest hour.

Mahler en esta su primera sinfonia nos anticipa su aporte a la musica:una revision del vivir muriendo,que tal vez como propuesta intelectual ,se convierte luego en una realidad existencial , que no habra de abandonarle en su carrera llena de peripecias , a las que debe unir su fuerte "judicidad" que habra de atormentarle con el avatar del destino propio y familiar. Su legado es incomensurable tanto por el "phatos" musical como por su ruptura con el romanticismo que nos anticipa conservandolo.
